The Only Way Is Essex star Lydia Bright praised her 'brave' daughter after she was rushed to the hospital with a fractured leg.

A few days ago, the 33-year-old revealed her four-year-old daughter, Loretta, was in the middle of her birthday party when she fell from a trampoline and fractured her leg. Lydia rushed the little one to the hospital before they had a chance to say goodbye to anyone and Loretta ended up in a cast.

On Thursday, Lydia shared an update on her daughter's health and praised her little girl. She posted a black-and-white of her daughter throwing two thumbs up as she sat in a hospital wheelchair with her right leg in a cast outside the Outpatient X-ray section of Whipps Cross Hospital in Leytonstone.

She smiled as she posed for the photo. "Thumbs up for my brave girl," Lydia captioned the post. "New cast and fresh x-rays."

Lydia opened up about Loretta's birthday and how she ended up in hospital in posts shared on social media recently. She told her followers last week: "The morning was spent at home, unwrapping all her birthday presents with Stevie Wonder “Happy Birthday,” on repeat. She assembled her new bike with Grandad (not that she will be able to ride it for a while.) Nanny also knocked on the door with her first-ever pets (without my permission. I will save that for a whole other post.)

"We then got ready for what was supposed to be her dream birthday party. Soft play and trampolining with 30 of her best friends. However, 30 minutes into the fun she fell on her leg and the screams were harrowing. I knew something was wrong because Loretta is one tough kid. I scooped her up unknown to most of the guests and rushed her to hospital. A few hours later in A&E, the doctor confirmed she had a hairline fracture in her tibia.

"Lots of tears were shed, especially by me. I fractured my ankle on a trampoline when I was younger and I couldn’t believe I had allowed my daughter to do the same. By 11 pm we were discharged, with a leg in a cast and pain relief. We drove straight to Mcdonalds' and spent the evening unwrapping her present on the sofa over nuggets and chips.

"I still feel completely shell-shocked and very emotional. Thank goodness she has lots of new presents to keep her occupied and we have our family and friends who have been amazing because I can't even leave the sofa to wee without tears. I suppose it’s all part of childhood."
